Kufa
What they did here
Al-Sha'bi was born, raised, educated, served as a judge (qadi), and died in Kufa, the Iraqi garrison city to which his Hamdani clan had migrated. Classical biography places nearly his whole life here. Both ends of his life are traditional estimates: his birth is variously placed c. 16-21 AH (c. 637-642 CE) and his death year is variously reported as 103-110 AH (c. 721-729 CE).
